about

This romantic ballad is about the beauty of life and death; it is about the never-ending cycles of the spirits and karmic connections; it is about the rhythmic movements in nature and how a dying soul can morph into another life form in a grand and mysterious way.

The video was shot back in April during the Covid-19 isolation period in my home studio filmed and directed by Stéphane Lapointe. The idea was to do a dream-like, psychedelic DIY video of me narrating the story under a prism of colors, images and movements of push and pull.

The lyrics for the song came to me while I was watching a documentary about the composer Antonin Dvorak, and learned the myth story behind his opera Rusalka. Dvorak had written this piece after being inspired by a poem from his favourite writer Karel Jaromír Erben.

lyrics

beautiful, alluring
fresh as spring water
she rose gracefully
to another, to another man
Who fell to her magic spell

her scent
between his fingers
drifted

the dance of the death woman
reflecting the colors of life
beautiful cycles
of death and birth
of birth and death
of birth and death

and birth and death…
and birth and death
of birth and death

she rose gracefully
to another man
to another man
she rose gracefully

her magic spell, her magic spell

she rose gracefully
to another man
who fell to her magic spell
